The Yamaha EX5 and EX7 Music Synthesizers, and the EX5R Tone Generator, offer more
music performance and production power than ever before available in a single keyboard or
tone generator unit. All three models feature a unique Extended Synthesis system which
incorporates a number of the most advanced tone generator technologies currently available
… plus a full-featured sampling system. There’s also a top-quality internal effect system so
no extra sound-processing equipment is required. 16-track song and 8-track pattern
sequencers provide sophisticated on-board sequence programming and editing capability,
while a unique 4-track arpeggiator function adds extended performance and
accompaniment capability. The EX-series keyboards and tone generator also offer one of the
most versatile and intuitive real-time control systems available, and they’re expandable to
suit a wide range of professional systems and requirements.
We urge you to read through at least the introductory section of this owner’s manual while
familiarizing yourself wit your EX5, EX5R, or EX7, and keep th manual in a safe place for
